xkcd: After the Pandemic

I share this view with Randall, the creator at xkcd. I currently plan to keep on wearing masks post-covid, in some circumstances, at least.

Snoozing Through Winter

Awakening

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain


Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.

Mysteries

Sink By The Sidewalk

what strange story exists here?

PHP and WordPress

This quarter I’m studying PHP at Edmonds College. Many of my classes have a cumulative project that we build towards over the quarter. For this class, we’ll be creating plugins for WordPress. I’m pretty excited as I’ve used WordPress for years and deepening my knowledge will be fantastic. Hopefully, I’ll get enough knowledge to come up with creative ideas.

 

From My Garden

From the Garden

upon the spring breeze
the delight of butterflies
and soon they will fade

Blessings on the Wind

Cherry Blossoms

as spring moves forward
sunlight dancing on blossoms
blessings on the wind

Blossoms in the Breeze

upon the spring breeze

blossoms gracefully dancing

within the sunlight

Moment of Sunlight

Spring moments

moment of sunlight
gentle breeze against the sky
now the calm of night


I took this photo while trying to capture a bee dancing vigorously between the blooms. She was much too fast for my photo, sadly. Yet it was a lovely moment.

An Animated Haiku

within this spring breeze

the flower has transformed

gracing the spring air


Today I experimented with creating animation with Adobe Spark. A fun creation, and I have a ton to learn. What do you think?

Blossoms Fading

fallen petals

springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed


I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.
